How to do it

  1. Sit on the end of a bench with a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
  2. Sit tall, chest up, feet flat.
  3. Raise both arms out to shoulder height, elbows slightly bent.
  4. Lower slowly under control.
  5. Sitting removes the leg drive, so you cannot bounce the weight up - expect to use less than standing.
